Default ($12) Screwing up with JJ. Line check

Full Tilt Poker
No Limit Holdem Tournament
Blinds: t20/t40
9 players
Converter

Stack sizes:
UTG: t1605
UTG+1: t1590
MP1: t1455
MP2: t1510
MP3: t1530
Hero: t1410
Button: t1540
SB: t1430
BB: t1430

Pre-flop: (9 players) Hero is CO with J[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] J[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]
3 folds, <font color="#cc0000">MP2 raises to t140</font>, MP3 folds, Hero calls t140 <font color="aaaaaa">(pot was t200)</font>, 3 folds.

The villain is unknown. I'm not sure about my call now. Yeah, I have the position, but it's for 1/10 of my stack. Meh...

Flop: Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 6[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 4[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] (t340, 2 players)
MP2 checks, Hero checks.

Obv.

Turn: 4[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (t340, 2 players)
<font color="#cc0000">MP2 bets t340</font>, Hero calls t340 <font color="aaaaaa">(pot was t680)</font>.

Fold right here? I though maybe he is trying to buy the pot with a flush draw or something that missed.

River: 8[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] (t1020, 2 players)
<font color="#cc0000">MP2 bets t600</font>, <font color="#cc0000">Hero raises all-in t930</font>, MP2 calls t330 <font color="aaaaaa">(pot was t2550)</font>.

Hate it. Yeah, the flush draw has missed but... Instafold here, right?

i like the pre-flop line

the flop was a good one for you, i think. after he checks the flop, now you need to bet for info as above poster said. 250 seems about right too. as is, there is no good way to play the turn. you have no idea if he has AK or TT and was just playing on the weakness of your flop check behind... or if he was slowplaying AA, KK, QQ or AQ on the flop. that is why the flop bet is so important.

as played, if you are going to check behind on the flop, then i would fold to the pot sized turn bet.
